An Ontario man who says there were rocks in a bag of frozen President’s Choice berries he purchased was offered $300 in compensation if he stayed quiet about what happened, a document shows.
Oshawa, Ont. resident Jordan Vandewater said that he and his wife were preparing smoothies for their children last month when they found a foreign object in one of their children’s bowls.
“My wife went into the freezer, grabbed a brand new bag of frozen PC [fruit], as she always does when my kids want these frozen blended smoothies,” Vandewater told CTV News Toronto on Friday. “She poured half the bag into the blender.”
He says his wife blended the mixture, served the kids their fruit smoothies in a bowl and then heard one of her children ask, “Mommy, what is this?”
When her child handed her the small object, Vandewater says his wife first thought it might have been a piece of ice and tried melting it under warm water. When the object didn’t melt, Vandewater says she realized it was a rock.
